What is music theory?
Music theory is how musicians explain and describe the phenomena heard in a musical composition.
Music theory defines the core aspects of music and provides a system for musicians to communicate their ideas to one another.
Why should you learn music theory?
- Music theory makes learning of music easy.
- Nothing could be further from the truth.all musicians can benefit from learning some aspects of music theory.
- Understanding music theory concepts is the key to progressing on your instrument,writting better songs and breaking through creative block
- The good news is that you don't need an expensive teacher to learn music theory.
- You can pick up the important parts of music theory by learning on your own and applying concepts to your everyday music practice.
Music Theory:
In music theory Music consists of three primary elements:
- rhythm
- melody
- harmony
Any music was created by following this music theory only. A song was also created by this music theory (music elements:melody,hormony and rhythm). But for song one more element was added that is lyrics.So, without this music theory a song or music was created
Rhythm:-
- Rhythm is one of the fundamental aspects of music theory.
- To create great harmonies and melodies you need to understand how rhythm works and how it is used in your tracks.
- Rhythm can get complicated very quickly, but if you learn a few simple concepts it’s not as hard to understand as you may think.
What is Rhythm?
- Rhythm is the way that music is systematically divided into beats that repeat a specific number of times within a bar at a collectively understood speed or tempo.
- Rhythm means a beats which are repeatedly played.
- Rhythm was sound and silence was occurred repeatedly.
- This rhythms are many types in music.There are like 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8 etc
Example:-
listen to the audio which given below
If we see above audio it was 2/4 rhythm and it was playing beats per time repeatedly.So we can say rhythm are the beats per time played repeatedly.
Melody:-
A melody is a collection of musical tones or if we see in piano,
melody can say as collection of notes played in rhythmatically for creating a music or tune
Example:-
obserse the video given below to understand about melody in music theory
video clip played
If we observe the above video,there i was not played only one note in keyboard for playing the tone (song) but i played the more than one note to play the tone(believer song)
So we can say melody means collection of tones played in a rhythmatically for playing a music
Hormony:-
Here, hormony means in music theory is Not a hormonium(indian musical instrument),
hormony means a collection of tones Played at a time
(more than one tone played at a time).
for a example we think about musical band.In that band,one playing flue,one playing violin and one playing trombonist.These all are playing music together.
flutist was playing a high G, the violinist bowed a B, and the trombonist sustained an E.Together, those three notes comprise an E minor triad.
So we can say chords are example for the hormony
Example:-
In the above video if we see with left hand the player was playing chords. So by playing this chords music became more beautiful. So we say hormony means two or more notes played at one time.
